Friday Homework for Lesson 73: God's Eye Stitch

This stitch is not difficult, but it is time-consuming and you might feel dizzy after turning the fabric around while whipping the cross.

Also I noticed that a thread with a good twist, like Perle, gives much better result than Coton a Broder. See for yourself in the samples below:

Aida Sampler (Coton a Broder)

Sunday Stitch School Reference Chart Perle)

Teal Wool Tailoring Scribble Cloth
These sit nicely, and look good in variegated thread (perle).

    That stitch makes a nice border.

      There is something of a row of pinwheels over them, don't you think?

    Pearl Cottons do have a lovely sheen and stitch definition which brings out the best in stitches like this!

      Perle will always be one of my favorite threads.
